"Pointless" passive bonuses..? I don't know about the other classes but the Assassin's passive bonuses are anything but pointless. They make a huge difference. Also, the Assassin has more than one active skill.

It's one of the few times I disagree with TB. Although I do see the point, he wants more active bonuses that have meat to them.

For example, 90% of the Commando's passives are, at worst, really too good. Get a high-chance elemental weapon and those passives that heal you on damage, increase weapon damage, etc and you're going to faceroll the entire game with the DoTs.

For example, there's a boss character during the latter story missions that will annoy the hell out of you, but if you've got DoTs and your turret leveled, you'll find that fight a whole lot easier.
